Stelis furculifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to Panama.[1] It was first described in 2007 as Condylago furculifera.[2]

Stelis furculifera resembles Stelis rodrigoi. Differences include sepals which are more sparsely developed and less white more villous (shaggy), the absence of decurrent basal lobes on the obovate-pandurate petals, and a viscid lip-callus that is ovate rather than orbicular.[3]
